Happens ALL THE TIME in Hong Kong. The worst case so far, I've had a driver call me as soon as I submitted the pick up request, hung up the phone immediately as I mentioned where I was going, then stayed without moving for the next 90

I wouldn't call rabbit red meat, but I second this. It's a common food in France, often cooked in stew with wine, and it's delicious and very lean. So lean that an over consumption of rabbit (read: eating only rabbit) can lea

Woah, that was exactly my previous position. Upside: I had one of the most paying position among the technical people. I also got to play with expensive stuff. Downside: it was soul crushing, I was delivering no value whatsoever and had a r

I can't agree more: PhD shows that you went through the pain of scientific training, you can however train yourself to science in different manners. Start from the start though: epistemology is grossly underrated, but the scientific me

One of the main aspect of Data Science is... Science. I know some people who I would qualify as scientist without a PhD, but they are extremely rare. On the other hand, I've seen countless unqualified people apply and get (lousy) dat

That's definitely a habit you've formed, that you can grow out of. Given no choice, you'd quickly figure out optimized way to do the same things without a personal car. Given proper public transportation, I did. Not owning a

Regardless of what you take home at the end, do not move to France for the salary/wealth. Move to France for the way of life and the overall social and personal security. Some people prefers not being in a perpetual rat race and having

An important point you seem to be missing, is that stuff that are not free but deemed a necessity (e.g.: family doctor consultation, drugs...) are capped. What they are allowed to charge at most is decided by law (in exchange, they get to c
